This QB class is no different than every other QB class other than 2 since Peyton Manning. Just because Geno Smith isn't seen as Eli Manning, Andrew Luck, or RGIII then that doesnt mean that you shouldn't draft QB #1. Those were special circumstances.
Geno Smith is in the same class as every other QB coming out that's projected top 5 or so.
And to the posts about don't take a chance get Teo....Taking him at 1 would be a much bigger reach than Pioli taking Jackson at #3. You generally don't take anything but QB/LT/someone that can get to the QB that high. There are rare oportunities to get a Calvin Johnson type player etc, Teo isn't anywhere close to C. Johnson. Teo is going to be exposed at the combine. He runs a 4.8 40 and will likely be a 2 down 3-4 ILB in the pros
